Dr. Pipes:

Thank you for writing and sending me the Euro Article.

It give manifest credence that anti-semitism now has a new face. Specifically, your column gives evidence that in Europe, at least, anti-semitism has been transfigured from a Christian/Jesus Killing character to an Islamist who is probably Middle Eastern or (as your column implies) , perhaps, who is a European convert to Islam.

It's ironic that the fundamental Islamists accuse the West of a new Crusade agains them, when it is they who are instead using their grievances to crusade against Jews worldwide.

I wonder if the European-Islamist anti-semitism can be demonstrated additionally as having spread across the ocean, to America. As a Jew, I think there is relatively little anti-semitism from Christians in America today, especially coming from organized (so-called) Christian groups like the KKK. Perhaps the Jewish Anti-Discrimination League will fund such a study, and give statistical evidence to what already is suggested everyday in the news media: That American Anti-Semitism has a fundamental- Islamisist face!
